Re: Starter wiring?

Try to hit the solenoid with a hammer while turning your ignition key, it helps if its stuck. To test the starter you can connect it directly to the battery and see if it works.

Re: Starter wiring?

Ya, with your key in the "on" position, run a small wire from the positive on the battery and touch the little wire tab on the back/top side of the starter solinoid. The engine should start cranking right then. If the solinoid pops out each time, but doesn't crank then your starter itself is fried.

Re: Starter wiring?

Make sure it´s grounded, if it is you probably need a new starter.
